Kabbalah On Witchcraft

I have loved HaShem and His Torah since my earliest memories as child--but I am no Tzadik. I've failed miserably at times. So does this mean I am defiled? I have felt things--sensed both benign and malevolent energies for as long as I remember. I have, since toddler-hood been told I have a way with animals. I can 'feel' them--like strong empathy--sense their needs. I don't know how to describe it. At age 7, Ema left me to run an errand. I heard no crash, only the cries of others inside (I was outside getting a soda) & I instantly knew my mother had been in a car accident. I didn't see it, I just 'knew' the details. This 'knowing' has happened to me many times in my life without warning or inviting it. Always it is for trouble, never happy. Then to there are the dreams that come true within a matter of moments to months. (Most are of disaster, some have been for good--others seemed trivial.) I avoid crowds because I feel others. So am I cursed? What should I do about this?

I nearly left my room in horror and spent the rest of the night in my car when I heard this lecture in the wee hours of the morning.

I live in a former tuberculosis treatment center that has since been converted into mixed residential / hotel use. Never in my stay have I gotten so frightened to live here... the mention of possession, those things that do not translate into English., ghosts, spirits... yikes.

Who stayed in my room....?

But you gave a logical explanation to the naïve souls who seek answers in the occult.

From a non-catholic christian perspecitve, as the Rabbi encourages, live a holy/righteous lifestyle.

When you somehow sense evil, verbally cry out to the Lord, and He will rescue you (Psalm 91). Also, just as the Rabbi did, cast/command out the evil entity in the name of Hashem, or by the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob.

Rabbi Kaplan's comment on the gevurah/chesed aspects of spiritual reality adds more depth to my study of Bereshit, chapter 1.

I was listening to this talk, I found it rich in wisdom.

Please upload more on this rabbi. He speaks slowly and clear. For me that is very important because my English is not so good as I would want.
